How do people travel to Antarctica and survive plane ice landing?
There are no tarmac runways in Antarctica: all runways are ice. Pilots slow the airplanes down to their minimum airspeed in order to maintain lift, and essentially glide or drift slowly onto the ice runways when they land. Note as well, that some airplanes are equipped with skis instead of wheels. All airplanes are non-commercial and are military grade craft, flown by pilots experienced in landing in extraordinary situations.
